STEWARDSHIP
  • Quote 6 People are always blaming their
    circumstances for what they are. I dont believe
    in circumstances. They people who get on in this
    word are the people who get up and look for the
    circumstances they want, and if they cant find
    them, make them. George Bernard Shaw
  • Quote 7 The usual way for change to happen is
    for a band of angels to descend from heaven and
    do it. The miraculous route is for us to do it
    ourselves. Author Unknown
